Sleepy English Bulldog 'Accepting' Goldfish Treat from Dad Before Bed Is a Total Lazy Queen
Everyone needs a little treat before bed, don't even try to say otherwise. Some people keep their favorite tea on deck. Others have ice cream every night. Lactose intolerant people like myself, though, typically go for something a little easier. Like those fluffy after-dinner mints!
On Thursday, June 14th, one dog dad learned that even his pup deserved a little treat before she settled in for the night. He offered her a Goldfish cracker, and at first, it looked like she didn't even know what to do:
Baby Pancake is exactly what I look like eating my snack after I've started my bedtime routine. One time, I'm not joking, I had five bites directly out of a pint of Ben and Jerry's with my eyes closed.
Pancake, like basically every other Bulldog in the world, is very sleepy. Being a dog will tire out a Bulldog, especially if they've done basically any form of physical activity that day. It's harder for them to breathe, and they're typically kind of heavy-set, which adds up to them sleeping like logs after a long day of being alive.
Before it was time to go to bed, though, Pancake found herself being gifted a little treat! Unfortunately for her, her tongue was dry from hanging out. That, combined with the fact that Goldfish are a dry snack, made it a little bit difficult for her to get the treat at first, but she got it. A dedicated dog will stop at nothing for a treat!
Should Dogs Eat Goldfish Crackers?
As far as human food goes, Goldfish are actually a pretty healthy snack. They're a little bit salty, but they're baked instead of fried, which helps keep them a less-bad-for-you option. When you're thinking about sharing your snack with your pup, a Goldfish cracker is feels no-brainer!
Original cheddar Goldfish are relatively dog-friendly in small quantities. You can toss one their way with no issues, but you should steer clear of the "Flavor Blasted" line as well as any funky flavors or chocolate graham ones.
If you're wanting to really go the extra mile, you can make cheesy dog treats at home - they'll never be able to tell the difference between those and a Goldfish cracker. Even though Goldfish are technically not toxic for dogs, they should be used sparingly. Making your own or even buying dog-friendly cheese crackers is always a safer option. Not that Pancake can eat more than 1 every five minutes anyway, apparently!
